Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Chapter 543 544 [absolutely impossible]

"Hong Yushi, I misjudged you before, and I am really ashamed. Not only did you not hate me, but you continued to fight against treacherous officials, and you almost died under the knife of corrupt officials.

For the sake of the country and the people, you sacrificed your life, I really should reward you. After Shang Rong and Xiang Nan were finished, Qianlong looked at Hong Derui and Hong Xia's father and daughter and said, "I especially want to thank you for training such a good daughter. . In my opinion, how about staying in the Shengping Department as a teacher? "

"Your Majesty, my daughter is used to the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on a heavy responsibility." Hong Derui said, "I am not in good health, and I want to retire and return home."

It is certainly a happy thing for him to defeat Shang Rong this time and successfully rehabilitate him. But his wife died of illness, and the family was almost destroyed, and everything was different from before.

Moreover, he could also see Qianlong's fatuousness and greed.

Shang Rong was guilty of repairing the garden this time, but Qianlong was the culprit. Regardless of the life and death of the people, he insisted on building gardens, which cost more than six million taels. Extravagance and extravagance were really not the work of Mingjun.

Therefore, he was quite disappointed and lost confidence in officialdom. I am going to retire to the old age, return to the countryside, and end my remaining life.

Qianlong was stunned for a moment, seeing that his attitude was quite firm, he could only nod his head.

"Well, since that's the case, I won't force you." He smiled, "Hong Derui is allowed to resign and return to his hometown. He will reward you with a thousand taels of silver and full salary."

"Long live thanks." Hong Derui kowtowed.

...

"Xiaoyue, you were the one who teased me at the inn that day, right?" Qianlong looked at Du Xiaoyue again and said.

"Xiaoyue is dead." Du Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue and knelt down.

"Okay, I don't blame you for not remembering the faults of villains." Qianlong said with a smile, "You have contributed to saving Hong Yushi's family, and I will reward you extra. Whatever you want, I will promise you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Du Xiaoyue said happily upon hearing this.

...

"He Aiqing and Ji Aiqing, this time I went out to do errands. Thanks to the company of the two of you, I have learned a lot and understood a lot in my heart. I should be praised." Qianlong said again, "But you two, one is talented To be wise, regardless of basic necessities of life, you must be smart when you are tempted everywhere.

One is mediocre and dull everywhere, not only helpless to me, but also caused me to suffer a lot. Are you both convicted? "

"The minister is guilty!", "The slave is guilty!" Xiang Nan and He Shen pleaded guilty together.

"Okay, you two will be dismissed on the spot. Quyang County, prepare two prison cars. Tomorrow morning, we will take them back to Beijing and wait for their release." Qianlong said again, "On the way back, you two should reflect carefully."

"Thank you, Lord Long En." Both He Shen and Xiang Nan said with bitter faces.

...

In the next day, Qianlong returned to Beijing majestically, escorted by guards of honor.

Xiang Nan and He Shen wore prison uniforms, put them in a prison car, and rushed to the capital.

"Old Ji, I didn't mean you. If you hadn't played those tricks, would we have been put in this prison car?" He Shen complained.

"Okay, shut up! Shang Rong didn't confess you, it's all yours. You don't think I don't know. Shang Rong was greedy for money to repair the garden, but you also shared a lot." Xiang Nan glared at him and said, "You are in the prison car, you deserve what you deserve. I saved Hong Yushi's family, and let the emperor see all kinds of things in the world. I have contributed to the community.

Now that I'm with you in the prison van, I still feel wronged. You still have the face to complain to me, bah! Shameless! "

"Old Ji, you..." He Shen was stunned by Xiang Nan, and he was immediately speechless.

Just as the prison van was about to go on the road, Du Xiaoyue led Hong Xia, Hong Derui and their daughter over.

"Sir~" Du Xiaoyue called out crisply.

"Xiaoyue~" Xiang Nan said happily when he saw her, "Miss Hong, Hong Yushi~"

"Mr. Ji, our father and daughter have really troubled you this time." Hong Derui cupped his hands to Xiang Nan.

Hong Xia's eyes were also wet, and she blamed herself quite a bit.

"Hey, don't say that. It's just going back to Beijing in a prison car, so it's not a burden at all." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "The emperor just wants to punish me with a small punishment, and he won't behead me. Don't worry. "

"Sir, you can still laugh." Du Xiaoyue pouted.

"It's all right. Mister did a fortune telling for himself yesterday, and it's really all right." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Mr. Ji's demeanor makes Hong appreciate it." Hong Derui cupped his hands and said, "I'm relieved to leave the little girl Xia'er to you."

"Ah?!" Xiang Nan was taken aback, "Hong Yushi, what do you mean by that?"

When He Shen heard this, he couldn't help pricking up his ears.

"Sir, Miss Hong Xia promised you that she would be by your side after the matter is completed." Du Xiaoyue said with a smile, "Why, now that she is about to fulfill her promise, you don't think so?"

Xiang Nan glanced at Hong Xia. Seeing that although she was full of shyness, she still looked at Xiang Nan bravely, without dodging or hesitating, so she knew that she had made up her mind.

"Hong Yushi, Miss Hong, this is absolutely unacceptable." Xiang Nan waved his hands again and again, "To be honest, I have long intended to marry Miss Xiaoyue."

When Du Xiaoyue heard it, she was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, her face was flushed, she was ashamed and happy, and she was about to faint with joy.

"Mr. Ji is indeed a believer. In fact, even if you don't tell me, I can tell." Hong Derui nodded and said.

What kind of trust and love Xiang Nan was able to hand over the imperial fan to Du Xiaoyue. If Xiang Nan didn't care about Du Xiaoyue so much, he wouldn't risk his beheading at all.

But he didn't have to say anything, and took Miss Hong Xia by his side.

Hong Xia is beautiful, intelligent, rich and attractive, even the emperor is attracted to her, which shows her charm.

But Xiang Nan still confessed, which shows that he is really a kind and righteous man.

"So, I would rather let Xia'er follow you." Hong Derui said again.

"Hong Yushi, you..." Xiang Nan didn't understand.

It stands to reason that a literati like Hong Derui is not even afraid of corrupt officials, should pay more attention to reputation and integrity, and never allow his daughter to commit himself to being a concubine.

"Mr. Ji, you are not only the most talented person in the world, you are full of geniuses, but you also have a heart for the country and the people. You are a rare good man in the world. My Xia'er is worth following you.

I would rather be the queen of a cow than the head of a chicken. Even being a concubine for you is better than being a regular wife for those mediocre, useless men. Moreover, I believe that Mr. Ji's family style will not treat my daughter badly. ”Hundry explained

"Besides, Xia'er was demoted to be an official prostitute after all. Although she kept her virginity, in the eyes of outsiders, her reputation is not good after all. There is no good choice for her to marry in the future."

Hearing what he said, Xiang Nan nodded in understanding.

Indeed, the requirements for women, especially our women, are still very strict these days.

For example, in Jia's Mansion in "Dream of Red Mansions", the ladies never leave the gate, and even relatives and servants are not allowed to see them, let alone other men.

After all, Hong Xia had stayed in Chunmanlou, which in the eyes of Taoists was out of morality. So if Hong Xia wants to marry, I'm afraid it's not easy to marry.

"Since Hong Yushi believes in Ji so much, then Ji is willing to take good care of Miss Hong." Xiang Nan nodded immediately.

When Hong Xia heard this, she couldn't help but blushed all over her face.

Seeing this, He Shen couldn't help swallowing enviously.
